Ok I have been working my way up using instant openness and I was just not seeing results. I decided to dose myself up pretty heavy and wait to get clubbed up side the head so I could see it.
10 sprays instant openness regular strength and off to the store. I go to best buy all the time for one thing or another and I am friendly with just about everyone in the store. I went to the computer section and started asking for help on several issues. Pretty soon I had five people around me all talking over themselves trying to help me. Then the conversation changed to different games that were out and what was good.. skip forward 45 minutes everyone is still talking about just about anything, parties, games, boyfriends, girlfriends, just about anything to keep talking. I finally said I think I got what I need and three of them followed me to the register still talking.
Well that was pretty direct.. I think I got a hit.
Now off the the local bar to meet a friend from work. He is split from his wife and needed someone to talk to so I figured this would help him get things started. When I got there he had several people already with him.
I sat down and just listened for a while, the mood brightened a little about thirty minutes after I got there with lots of jokes about EX wives. I know a few for some reason. Anyway, everyone was just talking away for about an hour after that. I said I needed to head out and get home.
I would say it was a hit again because I did not know anyone other than my friend and everyone was talking to me.
Now… for the HOLY MOLY BATMAN part.
I went home and went to my computer cubby to go post this. On the way in I could see that my ex was on the phone and very manic, she told me her mom was on the phone and was also manic (her mom is also bi polar).
I sat down, started up my laptop and in comes the ex. My cubby is quite small and only one way out… through the ex. She started talking 90 to nothing and just sped up. I had not showered and the instant openness started her engine and this woman can talk. I had no where to go. I finally managed to get out of the cubby about 45 minutes later, I told her I had to go to the bathroom and I took a shower while I was in there.
Note to self: Never wear a lot of instant openness around a manic.
Self effects unfortunately were none. Not sure why but all I felt like doing was listening?
